Remember when Stephen Harper said pandemic supports to Canadians were "overkill"
Remember when Pierre #Poilievre said #pandemic supports were just "big, fat govt programs; and we're Conservatives, so we don't believe in that".

The last person you'd want running the country during a national life and death emergency or global conflict would be #Poilievre & his Conservatives... who seem to think the solution to everything is tax cuts.

Fascinated by #Canada's small business response re: #CERB (Covid emergency business loans); they've had FOUR YEARS to prepare, repay. Interest free...until Thursday, then 5%. They'll be the first to say "there's no free lunch". Until now. Capitalism is great, as long as it's saved regularly by socialism.

* Trudeau/Liberal band-aid for employed persons
* nothing for unemployed who throughout pandemic rec'd zero support

* Canada is 8-9th largest economy
* wealth inequitably sequestered:corporations, billionaires
* inaccessible to ordinary Canadians

MastodonPersagen.com 🇨🇦 🏳️‍⚧️ ☮🏳️‍🌈 (@persagen@mastodon.social)2/3 As an exemplar, the COVID-19 pandemic was the opportune time to trial universal basic income in Canada. Trudeau (Liberals) CREB was a band-aid offered to employed persons; it did nothing for the unemployed, who throughout the pandemic received zero support. It's not about giving people wealth, it's about providing basics, sustainably. Canada is the 8-9th largest economy. Yet, that wealth is inequitably locked away (corporations; billionaires; ...).

The Canada Revenue Agency has fired 120 of its employees after an internal review into staff who inappropriately claimed COVID-19 benefits while employed by the agency, with potentially more discipline to come.

“It also speaks to something that I think is really troubling, which is this idea that people want to pursue their case, that they feel that they want to be heard in court, that they feel that they were sort of righteous and had not done anything wrong, and yet feel that the system either doesn’t hear them or doesn’t welcome them, or doesn’t accept them,” she said.

CERB helped Canadians get better jobs after the pandemic shutdown and shows that building a bridge between unemployment and training opportunities is a win/win.

As someone who faced a layoff and needed to transition careers, the barriers and expense of reskilling (and the limited access to and promise of Second Career) are real, and not great for our workforce and growth.
